The Self....
The ultimate aim of Jainism is to free man from the bondage and desires and enable him to attain bliss and harmony within himself.
Devoid of any attachment or aversions, a spiritually, serene, calm, peaceful death is the finest achievement in the world which ultimately leads to final liberation.
All that I have been able to bringforth is a small particle of the deep Jaina philosophy, with my limited knowledge thereof. Perhaps this particle may help us to know our 'Inner-Self - the Atmā; which in turn will lead us to the 'Pure Self
Let us put into practice with the only ultimate goal of attaining the everlasting state of 'Supreme divine' - the 'Siddhatva'.
I beseech forgiveness for any omissions and commissions, understatements or overstatements which might have crept in this treatise contrary to the teaching of the Omniscient Teachers - 'Arhat'.
